Mounds View Planning Commission August 19, 2020 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn inquired if the neighbors used this side of the yard to access their back <br />yard. Mr. Stroeing commented the neighbors were always welcome to use his driveway to access <br />their backyard. <br /> <br />Ms. Sadkuhler reported she does go up Carl’s driveway to get into her backyard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn stated she could support the one foot setback but did not support the zero <br />foot setback. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson commented Mr. Stroeing may not always live in this house and for this <br />reason he would like to follow the City’s guidelines regarding driveway setbacks, versus <br />allowing the zero setback just because these two neighbors got along. He recommended the <br />setback be set at one foot. He suggested the applicant consider putting one additional foot of <br />concrete to the west side of the driveway. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rundle agreed with this recommendation. <br /> <br />Mr. Stroeing stated he could support this recommendation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Farmer requested further information regarding why a five foot setback was the <br />standard. Community Development Director Sevald discussed the reasons for having a five foot <br />setback in place. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:23 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson/Commissioner Rundle.
